What are YOU reading? #154


What are you reading on Monday? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey where you post books completed last week and plans for upcoming books. Jump over to her blog and see who else is participating.



Read


The Farm by Emily McKay
Young Adult
(This dark dystopian is sweetened with a small but constant shred of hope and immense love between twin sisters...)
8/10





Fairy Lies by E D Baker
Children's, 11 years +
(Fairies, mermaids, trolls and sphinxes can be found in Tamisin's chaotic life...)
9/10





Prince Of Light by K C Rivers
Young Adult
(Evanthe's tale is incredible; it belongs with some other books that I literally hug and squee about!)
10/10





Dance Dreams by Malaika Rose Stanley
Children's, 9 years +
(Keisha learns that ballet and best friends CAN go together!)
10/10





Socks by Elizabeth Lindsay & Nick Sharratt
Children's, Picture book
(Bright, colourful and loud, this will bring delight to old and new sock lovers...)
10/10





Reread


Second Term At Trebizon by Anne Digby
Children's, 9 years +
(Although I half remembered the story, the plot twists still had a shocking effect on me.)
10/10






Watched


Spice and Wolf
Japanese, Anime
10/10
(I'm starting again from the beginning, in the hope I will watch it all this time. I had forgotten how funny it is!)





Shugo Chara
REWATCH! - Japanese, Anime
10/10
(I love Su, Amu's chara, how she thinks and her interesting views on life!)





Lilpri
REWATCH! - Japanese, Anime
10/10
(Now that the girls know who their idol Wish really is, it is easier for them to trust him...)





Bodacious Space Pirates
Japanese, Anime
10/10
(An awesome series, with a semi-predictable ending which didn't matter because I was having heaps of fun!!)





The Glass Mask
French, Anime
10/10
(I was as surprised as the heroine Laura when she realised what her teacher had been trying to make her learn [which easily verged on abuse due to the cruel training
method Laura is forced to undergo]...)





Kotoura-San
Japanese, Anime
10/10
(An incredible tale about a girl growing up with telepathy. It is simulcast a week or so after episodes premier in Japan, so I can't race ahead to the end yet! Drat!)





Eclipse aka Twilight #3
REWATCH! - Film, English
10/10
(This always cheers me up and never gets old.  Might have skipped a scene I'm not keen on though...)





Tinker Bell and the Secret of the Wings
Animated, English
10/10
(I was able to focus on the characters more than the story. I love the feel good friendship vibes...)





Breaking Dawn #1 akaTwilight #4
REWATCH! - Film, English
10/10
(The final movie is out in just over a month - squee! Yes I skipped the romance scene and about 2 Jake scenes I find dull...)






Again no gaming and only a little sewing. Been really tired, which was probably the start of this cold I'm currently brewing. No photo today.
